🚀 New
- UX
- The status panel of Velixo NX will now accumulate and display error messages that occurred in Velixo formula cells during refresh, along with a clickable cell address that navigates you to the offending formula. (#4860) This is done on a best-effort and the following limitations apply:
- Only errors in Velixo formulas can be detected.
- If a given Velixo formula errors out due to an error in a precedent cell, Excel does not invoke our code at all; therefore, we cannot detect if there was an error.
- The addresses in the panel will not automatically update if you insert/remove cells to your workbook, but we will try to display a notification that the information in the panel might be outdated.
- We removed the Freshdesk support widget from the side panel; upon clicking the help button, we will now direct you to the fully fledged support experience in the browser. (#4834)

- Functions
- WORKBOOKLASTREFRESHDATE() and WORKBOOKLASTREFRESHBY() for better visibility on whether the data in the workbook is up-to-date. (#4823)
- COMPANYNAME() function that allows you to retrieve a name of a given Acumatica company. (#3068)
- âť—Using this function requires installing the latest Velixo customization project.
- Writeback
- In the generic WRITEBACK function, a new screen setting “WritebackBranch” has been supported that allows you to perform writeback in the sign-in scope of a given Acumatica branch. This comes in handy in a number of narrow scenarios such as using branch-restricted cash accounts. (#4759)
✨ Improved
